Andres (18 months) old has a jaw misalignment) according to

the " plagio specialist " Andres jaw problems is linked to

torticollis. Andres also has oral low tone, a speech delay, and a

few feeding/chewing issues (chews like a horse - circular motion).

He also grinds/moves his jaw from left to right. Andres has been

seen by a cranio-facial surgen but never a pedi maxioral .

Let me know how everything goes with your DD.
